Default For those of you running 9" rear ends

For those who are running 9" rear ends in a 98-02 fbody what rear shocks and spring combos are you guys running?
Also what 60' foot times are you running with said combo?
One last thing if you drive your car on the street occasionally still how bearable is your setup?

Hello
We suggest anytime that you are running a aftermarket rear end. Use the factory rear springs (to still allow good clearance) and go with a good adjustable shock such as a QA1. Below is a link to show you what all UMI Performance has to offer!

If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be more than glad to help!
Thanks

Hello, we have several customers running our rear springs and cutting high 1.20 to low 1.30 60' times. The are either using Strange or QA1 for the shocks. My springs are available in pairs and we have plenty in stock and can ship them out same day if you call by 3pm est. We also have very competitive pricing on both Strange and QA1 products. Give me a call if you have any questions or would like to place an order.

alright well for about the next 2 years I would say until I can find a early 2nd camaro it will just be a weekend cruiser/drag strip car and I was leaning towards the QA1 shocks but wanted some real world comparisons. Also would these be good to keep when I go all out in a few years and start to shoot for consistent low 9's and high 8's?

Hello
Yeah they will be what you need in that case if you are going for single digits.... some of our customers even go with the double adjustable for the fine tune of the chassis. But for now you will be just fine with the single adjustable. If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be more than glad to help!
Thanks

Thats a good 60' for using the competition 3 way shocks. When you get ready for those springs give me a call and i will see what i can do for you.
